You can also try using super worms and crickets. I feed mine a high
percentage of crickets.
I keep bins of super worms and pick out the fresh sheds. They are
white and very soft.
If they have trouble learning to catch crickets you can put them in a
bowl or pinch the hind legs.
Some of mine like silk worms, few like goliath worms ( tomato horn
worms )

Thanks very much! Guess there's no reason not to give them a try then.

Hi =0),
I normally feed my adult leo mealworms too but I have
fed her large Pheonix Worms. She loved them.
I didn't gut load them but I did dust them.
Evil Neo was happy and I had no problems.
I hope this is helpful.

My leos are used to being fed mealworms, and as you probably all
know,
there is a national shortage of them right now and none can be had
anywhere in stores or online. Are Phoenix Worms a safe substitute? If
so, what size would an adult leopard gecko need (small, medium or
large)? Also, the website (www.phoenixworm.com) states that
gutloading
is not necessary with them -- is this accurate? And would they
need to
be dusted with the Repashy Calcium + ICB, as i've been doing with my
mealworms, or would that give them an OD of calcium, since the
Phoenix
Worms are higher in calcium (again, according to the website)?
Thanks for your help.
